The Bible in Modern English: John, 1 John, Matthew, Mark
from the Ferrar Fenton Version

The ordering novelty in the New Testament is that it places the Gospel of
John and the First Epistle of John at the beginning before the Gospel of
Matthew, thus placing the Acts of the Apostles immediately after the Gospel
of Luke.

Work on the translation began in 1853 by a London businessman called
Ferrar Fenton (1832-1920). The complete Bible was first published in 1903,
though parts were published as separate volumes during the preceding 1 1
years. The translation is noted for a rearranging of the books of the Bible
into what the author believed was the correct chronological order. His
translation of the New Testament is based on the Greek text of Westcott and
Hort. (Introduction from Wikipedia)
